VENTILATING ATTACHMENT FOR STGVE=PEPES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,968, dated March 5, 1889.

Application filed March '7, 1888. Serial No. 266,398. (No modeld To (6 whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE L. JONES and EUsEBIUs M. MILEs, of Chippewa Falls, in the county of Chippewaand State of Visconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ventilating Attachments for Stove- Pipes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Our invention relates to an improvement in ventilating attachments designed particularly for the draft-pipes of cook-stoves, in which a hood adapted to be held over the stove in position to receive the smoke, vapors, and other gases rising therefrom, as in cooking, is provided with an escape-opening for connection with the stove-pipe, so as to utilize the draft thereof for drawing off the collected gases, and with means for supporting it adjustably from the stove-pipe, so that it can be moved out of the way to give access to the top of the stove.

The objects of the improvement are to provide for the ready adjustment of the hood vertically, so as to give access to the stove without interfering with the ventilating action, to render the hood more conveniently movable aside out of the way, to secure a more direct connection and a firmer attachment of the hood to the stove-pipe, and to afford means for moving a part or parts of the hood out of the waywithout disturbing the remainder.

To this end the invention consists of certain novel features of construction and com binations of parts, hereinafter fully described, and distinctly pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is aperspective view of a ventilating attachment embodying our improvement applied to a stove and its pipe. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the attachment and its supporting-pipe. Fig. 3 is a side sectional elevation of the same on the line .1 :1, Fig. 2. Fig. 4: is an inverted plan view of the same, showing a different adjustment of parts of the hood.

The vertical d raft-pipe A of the stove l; is

provided near the stove with a lug forming a shoulder, C, and considerably above the same with a pin or projection, D. On the pipe A, between the shoulder and projection, is mounted to turn and to slide vertically a loose sleeve, E, carrying a hood, G, and having an L-slot, F, opening at its upper edge, so that the hood can be held in an upper position by engaging the projection l) with the shoulder formed by the L-slot F, or disengaged therefrom and permitted to rest upon the lower shoulder C, on which it can thus be adjusted to hang directly over the stove or turned laterally out of the way, as indicated by the arrow in Fig. l, to give complete access thereto.

The hood G is peaked and has a vertical or approximately vertical back, II, at the upper edge of which is the apex or highest point, the top I, which is rigidly attached to the back, inclining downward, forward, and laterally therefrom. The back ll, having a vertical groove or depression, ll, to accommodate the pipe and sleeve, is rigidly attached at its top directly to the side of the sleeve, and is formed with a lateral escape-opening, J, thereat, connected with a correspomling opening, J, in the sleeve.

The draft-pipe A is formed with a series of (in this case two) openings, K, in its face, so arranged that the sleeveopenin g J will register with one thereof when the hood is supported either by the shoulder C or the projection D on the pipe over the stove, but will be out of register therewith, and thus both of them cut off, when the hood is swunglaterally out of the way.

A door, L, serving as a draft-damper, is pivoted eccentrically to the interior of the back ll, to slide thereon over the escape-opening J, so that it can conveniently be adjusted to vary or close such opening, and will be firmly held in. such adjustment.

The depending sides: and front of the hood G are formed of independent sections II and K, respectively, which are hinged to the side and front edges of the top I, and extend entirely around the said edges, so that, while normally forming a continuous confining-wall for the hood, they can. be one or all swung up out of the way and back 011 the top to give access to the corresponding, part of the stovetop without disturbing the remainder of the hood.

Catches O are hinged to the ends of the back II for engaging the rear ends of the side sections, M, when lowered, and locking them in place.

The front hinged section, N, is itself formed of a middle piece,N, the upper edge of which extends the full length of the hood-top, but the ends of which are beveled, and two triangular end pieces, N hinged tosaid beveled ends, so that, while normally making a continuous joint with the side sections, M, they can be folded over upon the face of the front section to avoid interference with the side sections when both are thrown up on the hoodtop, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2.

The top I of the hood is preferably stiffened by inclined struts P, extending from the inner face of the back ll to the under side of the top.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with a vertical draft-pipe having a series of lateral openings at different heights, of a sleeve, as E, surrounding said pipe, having an opening, as J, registering with said openings when the sleeve is adjusted, a projection, as G, and pin, as D, rigidly secured on said pipe below and above the sleeve, respectively, a shoulder, as F, produced on the upper edge of said sleeve, and a hood, as G, secured to said sleeve, having a brace, as P, substantially as described.
